Adding it...The Good Widow sounds super interesting! Adding it. I think the Samuel Hawley book would make a great movie. I definitely preferred the parts about him or her as a young kid, not so much as she got older. I didn't hate it though. I just got The Breakdown from netgalley, I keep hearing about it! I haven't read anything by Chevy Stevens, I tend to stay away from domestic violence if I know about it beforehand (it bothers me when I stumble on it accidentally but I will keep going, if I know about it beforehand I can't convince myself to pick it up).Kristen @ See You In A Porridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592108031437491276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-4439718369236673262017-07-12T20:36:33.804-05:002017-07-12T20:36:33.804-05:00I have to many of these on my list - the breakdown...I have to many of these on my list - the breakdown is up next.

I have The Good Widow from Netgalley so I'm glad to hear it was good! Dreamland Burning is sitting on my nightstand to get to sometime in the next couple of weeks. I enjoyed The Dry but it won't become an all time favourite. I don't think I could have listened to it - there was a bit of skimming.

I want to know what made Samuel the way he is and I don't hate Loo's chapters but I don't know, I guess people not learning from their mistakes during the course of a book drives me crazy (seriously dude, how did you get shot 12 times?) so I want to quit. I got more into it last night, though, so I'll at least give it another day.
